This Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan profiles <strong>the</strong> 22 hazards which <strong>the</strong> State of Kansas has<br />

identified as being <strong>the</strong> greatest threats to lives and property within its borders. These hazards<br />

were evaluated with regard to historical occurrences, probability, magnitude, duration, warning<br />

time, existing mitigation strategies, and <strong>the</strong> potential impacts on each jurisdiction.<br />

The mitigation strategy contained within this update was developed through <strong>the</strong> consideration of<br />

potential threats, hazards, resources, and <strong>the</strong> willpower available to mitigate <strong>the</strong>ir effects. The<br />

planning committee for <strong>the</strong> Region has defined <strong>the</strong> following goals to support this mitigation<br />

strategy:<br />

• Goal 1: Reduce or eliminate risk to <strong>the</strong> people and property of Region L from <strong>the</strong><br />

impacts of <strong>the</strong> identified hazards in this plan.<br />

• Goal 2: Strive to protect all vulnerable populations, structures, and critical facilities in<br />

Region L from <strong>the</strong> impacts of <strong>the</strong> identified hazards.<br />

• Goal 3: Improve public outreach initiatives to include education, awareness and<br />

partnerships with all entities in order to enhance understanding of <strong>the</strong> risk <strong>the</strong> Region<br />

faces due to <strong>the</strong> impacts of <strong>the</strong> identified hazards.<br />
